Your lesson plan shows a clear idea of what your lesson

aims and objectives are and what result you expect your
students to have within the allocated time frame
I particularly liked that you included anticipated problems
and solutions in your lesson plan.
This helps you be more prepared for any situations that
might occur during your lesson
A big part of teaching is being prepared
I liked that you rehearsed your teacher procedure, this
shone through in your lesson itself

I liked that you were comfortable relaxed and at ease in

your class and with your students
you laughed with your students this made your lesson feel
really relaxed
You pitched your lesson at the right level for your students
but you could have talked a little bit clearer
Remember , you dont have to down grade your language
so much that it becomes unintelligible

Bear in mind, students will copy the way you speak so it

isnt necessary to leave out so many words
EG you said: we say or write on the other side or behind,
we never say backside!
you know meaning of parents you know Steve Jobs put
numbers
Also, we use do/does to create questions and negatives in
present simple

could you have spent more time on your warmer?

are interested in them
take your time, let your students talk about themselves,
they will love it!

Jobs, let them show /tell you how much they already know

PM

You made sure that your tasks and activities were very
clear and that the language you wanted your learners to
use was apparent.
You highlighted the word past tense with some regular
verb examples on the student handouts, and this was
quite clear.
I especially liked your word maze it was both appropriate
and creative, but,
Could your students have done this as pair work?
it might have been more engaging and fun in this way

you gave a solid input session and your students did get
stuck in
Although your lesson was not entirely teacher centered,
Not all questions and answers need to flow through you
Allow students to figure information out on their own
It isnt necessary to spoon feed students especially if they
are adult learners
a much more democratic approach like guided learning
or task based learning would have been more appropriate
for this level
EG: Your students asked you questions, you assumed that
they didnt understand
At that point learning was happening, a light bulb
moment for students, so you didnt have to explain your
point again.

The second hour of your lesson:

Your memory card game was a great brain break idea

However, you could have set it up a little better
Give clean and clear instructions
you could have demonstrated the task so that your
students knew precisely what needed to happen without
you having to repeat the instructions
One of your students was very quiet and shy, I liked that
you continued to encourage him even in the 2 nd hour
Your bingo activity allowed students to show their
understanding of your grammar point and it was fun
I really liked that at the end of each exercise you took the
time to do correction
However, you didnt do any feedback?
How do your students know that they are progressing?
You also need to think about asking students for their
feedback on your lesson
I liked that you did a short recap of your grammar point of
your lesson, but be careful not to go over your allocated
class time.
